This is my Grandson driving my live steam for the 1st time, I thought he did brilliantly, he just sat down in the sun looking so cool, while his Sister, Mum and Nana watched on, his Sister did have a little go with my hand on the Tx, just along the straight by my garage…she loved it, but I couldn’t take a video of her, the look on her face was of shear joy…
I know the gas regulator was running a bit high, but I didn’t want to stop him running it. I did stop him and turn it down after, he was running it until just before it ran out of water.
The chip on the dome was my fault when I tried to take it off last year when she was running a bit too hot and dropped it on the flags, ooh it was hot…

Re: Grandson driving a Live Steam for the 1st time
Start 'em young Rod... he looks to be capable of handling that and might go on to be a modeller in his own right?
It seems the Fairies have visited the FWLR and extended your line when Anne wasn't looking.... nice run you have there now.

The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Rod its really nice to see the younger generation getting involved and your grandson seems to be enjoying running your loco and hopefully a modeller in the future.

Thanks Peter & Kevin, he really did enjoy himself. I have bought him a little ip engineering kit to build whenever he comes round, but I like him to run the trains more 1st.
